I still have my old yo yo. Must be a collectors item. I entered a local competition in 1957(ish) but failed to win.

At school in the '80s'/'90s', there was a brief fad for yo - yos that were branded with logos for soft drinks.
I think I had a Coca Cola one (it was the first time I became aware of the old 'Enjoy' lettering on it), but there was also a Fanta and Sprite one that people had too.

We (my siblings and myself) had a thing called a 'Gadabout'.
It was a flat plastic steerable cart with seats built into it, that also doubled as a sledge when you took the wheels off.
It was red.
We loved it so much!

Does anyone remember these primative things from the seventies?
A plastic submarine that you placed a tablet, that from memory was a bit like a soluble aspirin, inside and dropped in the bath, and as the tablet dissolved the submarine would surface, hours of fun. 😂
And something else that never seemed to work very well, but was always on a young lad's Christmas list.

I could do it when at school but i've forgotten how to manipulate the bottom row once the top two are done.
Scalextric undoubtedly my favorite and most played with toy. I still have it, but have run out of space to set it up, need to get a child to move out....

Oh I forgot, ZOIDS were my favourite toys when I was 7ish. I got a big one for Christmas and played with it all the time, but didn't get any more as they were quite expensive.
